Memorial Day ~ Decoration Day

Greater love hath no man than this,

that a man lay down his life for his friends.

John 15:13

Memorial Day ~ a time of remembrance for those who died in service for their country. It was originally called Decoration Day as the women would decorate the graves of the Civil War veterans. This vintage postcard depicts a little girl doing just that.

The caption on this next vintage postcard reads:

Let the Stars and Strips be waving o'er their generous sacrifice.

But his soul goes marching on.

My father was a veteran, and my husband is as well. I am proud of their service to our country. Our town celebrates Memorial Day with a small parade. They stop at one point on their route and throw a floral wreath into the ocean to remember those whose lives were lost at sea.

Thanks for visiting my blog today. For those reading this via email, you can find my blog here:Little Birdie Blessings

I am proud of our servicemen and women also! My father and husband's father lost a lot fighting to help keep our country free, and we are thankful! Have a wonderful, restful time of reflection and rest, dear Abby!God bless you :)

The Face Behind Little Birdie Blessings

Hi, and welcome to Little Birdie Blessings. I’m Abby and my blog is a place of Christian encouragement for women through free vintage images, devotions, hymns, Scripture, digital art and more. I draw from my experience as a Pastor’s Wife, Mother, Grandmother, and the various trials I’ve experienced that have shaped me to be the woman I am today. I love the Lord wholeheartedly and strive to encourage others through His Word, the Bible.
